Reviews/Contests

I love reading and I love blogging, and I really enjoy teaming with authors and publishers to promote their newest releases (or not so new releases). I am willing to do this through posting reviews, participating in blog tours, doing author interviews, and hosting contests and giveaways. If you have a book you would like me to review or otherwise help promote, please contact me at: areadersramblings@gmail.com

Genres I like: This site is geared mostly towards YA as those are the books I enjoy the most. However, I also read and review anything from Children's Picture books, Middle Grade titles, Historical Fiction and pretty much anything in between. When in doubt, contact me!

Genres I won't accept: Note that this is a family friendly site, so if you book doesn't fit that model, then I probably won't be interested.

A Note on Self Published Books: I know that it is sometimes hard to get self published works out there. I'm always open to considering any book, whether it be from a publishing house or a book that you published on your own. As always if you're not sure if your book is up my alley or not, shoot me an email!

When I accept a book: I try to read every book within a few weeks although sometimes that just isn't possible. I will review every book though (for better or worse!). With each review I will post a cover picture, synopsis (taken from goodreads, amazon or the book jacket) along with my review and rating. When possible, I will also post links to the authors website and other pages including facebook and twitter. The review will also be sent to my twitter account (@ReadersRambling).

Note: The books that I review are books that I have purchased myself, borrowed from the library, won through contests or received from publishers and authors. All my reviews are based on my own opinion of the book. I do not receive payment for my reviews.


Contest Policy:
Now that I'm holding occasional contests here on A Reader's Ramblings, I wanted to make sure I had a set contest policy. This policy will apply to all contests unless otherwise noted.
  • All contests are open to those 18 years of age or older
  • Unless otherwise noted, all contests are open to US only
  • Winners will be drawn using random.org
  • Contest winners will contacted via email and be announced on the blog
  • Winners will have 48 hours to email me and claim their prize- otherwise a new winner will be drawn.
  • I am not responsible for items damaged or lost in the mail
  • I retain the right to end a contest prior to the original deadline and without prior notice
  • I retain the right to disqualify any entry as I see fit 
Note: Not all prizes will be sent from me- some authors and publishers will be sending the prizes out themselves. At which time, the winner's address will be given to them. This will be noted in the contest post.
